Even After Death Chapter 176
Olivia's burp was loud in the silent room before stillness inflated in the air.She didn't expect herself to give the game away that quickly.Feeling awkward, she looked at Ethan. "I can explain."She blurted that in the heat of the moment, making matters worse.She observed his expression carefully only to realize that his face was free from annoyance. Worry sat upon his brows instead.She thought, "Did I misread his expression? He resents me to his bones. Why would he be worried about me?""Have more if you're hungry." He gave her a spoonful.She was confused as she thought, "Does he think that I burp because I'm hungry?"In the end, Olivia was stuffed when the meal was actually made for Ethan."Enough. I'm full." She could feel her stomach bursting.He frowned. "You're all skin and bones. How could you eat only this little?"Then, he fed her another spoonful of lasagna. Her cheeks were puffed like a chipmunk.At this moment, a woman in spectacles opened the door. "Mr.

When Olivia said that, she forced herself to recall the sad memories so that she could look at Ethan with teary eyes.She knew that being ferocious against him wouldn't do. After all, they were once husband and wife.She knew his character more than anyone else did. Softening his heart was the best option.Her voice was calm, free from complaints and doubts. Tears were pooling in her eyes, too.Although tears can disgust someone, they could be a weapon when it was used at the right time.Now, Ethan's throat parched due to guilt. "I know." He lowered his head in self-reproach.He held her shoulders and licked his lip before saying, "I know that many things have happened between us."We cannot turn back time either. Let's put an end to Leia's matter. Stay by my side. I'll take good care of you."That was the most significant concession he could make.Frigid numbness shackled her heart. He was the person who hurt her deeply in the past. How could she forget about it only be

It was rare for Olivia to show him her good side. Naturally, Ethan was willing to hear what she had to say. "Yes?" Ethan was in a good mood. His tone became lighter without his knowing. Olivia said seriously, "I do not want to be locked in the house like a pet. I had given up on my studies before. I had only lived in sadness these two years. I want to have a fresh start.""Let's hear it."Ethan was in a really good mood. That made him more patient, too. Olivia said slowly, "I want to work at your side."In the past, she had lived her life as a housewife. She had been content with living like that, being loved by him. She was okay with not being in the spotlight. But she thought she was too much of a failure when she realized she didn't know the people Ethan hung around with. She didn't even know who they had offended. If she stayed in the dark, she would always be easily manipulated by that person. Olivia has never been as enlightened as she was. In the past two years,

Ethan stared deeply into Olivia's eyes. He wanted to see what she was thinking by reading her expression. "What do you want?" Olivia was being too weird. He had no idea what she was plotting. Ethan felt uneasy even though she had become more docile. "I already told you. I wanted to have a fresh start. I don't want to be in the shadows my whole life."Olivia tugged at Ethan's sleeve lightly. Her muffled voice came from within his embrace. "Can I?""Is that all you want?" Ethan said in a strained voice. He did not know what to say. "What else can I do? Or are you saying that you're willing to let me go and live in other cities?"Ethan tightened his arms around her voice and said coldly, "Don't even think about it."Olivia smiled bitterly in his arms. He had already said it before. Even in death, she had to stay by his side. She closed her eyes and thought, "As you wish.""As you wish," Ethan said. The voice in Olivia's head and Ethan's voice were in unison. Olivia ra

Olivia thought that the secretaries would be her suspects if the person who manipulated her life was indeed hiding close to Ethan. Olivia was observing their expressions to see if they would reveal their true colors. But they were calm and composed. They greeted her and went back to work. Olivia touched her wrist. Was she wrong about that? She decided not to rush things. She decided to probe Grace first. She was the most recently recruited secretary other than herself. Olivia moved next to Grace. Grace's attitude towards her wasn't particularly friendly. But she also didn't look down on her. Olivia spent nearly two hours next to all the secretaries. She wasn't able to find anything suspicious about them.Brent allowed them to go home after they did overtime until 9:00 pm. Nancy was full of smiles as soon as she got off work. She massaged her back and started to call her friends. It seemed like she was headed to a bar and was asking someone to save her a seat. She saw

Olivia raised the notebook in her hand. The notebook recorded all of Ethan's preferences. "I haven't finished memorizing it yet. Mr. Miller takes his coffee with three cubes of sugar. He likes his steak rare. His favorite fruits are cherries and blueberries …"Olivia shut the notebook. She looked at Ethan seriously, "I seem to recall that you hated those fruits the most. You only eat medium-rare steaks, and you never put any sugar in your coffee."If William hadn't reminded her not to get anything wrong, she would have thought that someone was setting her up for failure at the workplace. The list of preferences was the complete opposite of what Ethan actually liked. Ethan took the notebook from her hands and said, "You don't have to care about that." Ethan did not like people knowing about his preference. No one knew about his actual preferences except Olivia. "You need only do as you're told." The light from the laptop's screen shone on Ethan's face. It made his expression look

Ethan saw the color drain from Olivia's face when he walked in. She looked very pale and unwell, even to the untrained eyes. Her hands were also shaking slightly. He frowned and quickly walked toward her."What are you looking at?"Olivia did not try to hide it. Ethan saw the horrible accident. The scene was bloody. It was no wonder she looked pale. "There's nothing to see here." Ethan thought she accidentally came across the video.He was about to turn it off before he realized something was wrong. That wasn't a recent accident. Olivia turned her phone off and asked with a seemingly casual tone, "So, you were at the scene of my father's accident?"Ethan did not know that this was the reason she wanted to harm Connor before. So when she suddenly brought it up, he looked her in the eyes and said, "Yes."I was headed for the G20 Summit that day. But there was an accident on the road, so I changed course. But I didn't expect to get to the scene of your father's accident."It was like

The idea flashed through her mind momentarily. But Ethan's scornful face quickly filled her thoughts. She knew that Ethan could take her words as she was trying to get her father off the hook. He had already mocked her countless times for her schemes. Moreover, if she told him what she knew before uncovering the truth, it might alert the mastermind and force him to switch things up. So, she suppressed her urge to tell Ethan what she knew. In reality, the existence of a mastermind wouldn't have affected their relationship. It was the fact that Ethan had an affair. Olivia was more composed than she used to be. She responded with a muffled sound. Olivia's mind was clearer than it ever was after she got the reply she wanted. She clutched Ethan's clothes tightly. Uncovering the truth had become her only reason to be alive. "Thank you for calling the ambulance.""There is no need to look at something that happened so long ago. Let's go to bed."Ethan thought that Olivia

Warren's pale face showed a hint of pleading. "Olivia, we've gotten to know each other better in the past two years. Have you ever loved me?"Hatred was evident in Olivia's cold eyes. "Never. I pray for your death every single second of my life.""I knew it." He smiled at that embittering answer. Karma had always been there. Another sound of a gunshot surprised the birds. A pool of blood splashed over the flowers. Warren stared at the picture on the gravestone. "Mona, I've returned everything that I owe you…"Olivia's gaze alternated between the two bodies. Her heart ached as she began crying. "It's finally over, Mona. Please rest in peace."She had been waiting for this day to come for too long. When the revenge was finally over, she felt hollow on the inside. …Yarrows reached their peak of beauty during the season, dancing along the wind.

"Avery, what happened?" Olivia inquired.She had no clue what was happening and didn't dare to go anywhere close to Louis. The only person who she got close to was Avery."Stay away, Olivia! It's too dangerous!" Avery yelled worriedly. Louis shifted his gaze to Olivia. "My experiment is going to be successful soon. That's Natalie's descendant. She has Natalie's genes in her…"Olivia's eyes widened as she finally realized why Louis had been taking special care of her. Back then, she simply assumed that it was due to her health and talent, but it turned out that he had known her identity all along!The purpose of the human modification project was to resurrect Natalie! The thought of it gave her goosebumps.To think that he had made so many preparations just to resurrect Natalie…Even Olivia was deceived. She took the human modification project at face value; she didn't think much about it! "Let Natalie go, Louis. She's been gone for years. She could be watching us from up

Olivia arrived on the island. She noticed the change in the atmosphere this time around.It was the same old scenery, but the robots that once filled the island to the brim were gone. She expected to encounter some inspection robots upon arrival, but there weren't any.Ships were docking in lines by the seashore, and most of them belonged to private foreigner organizations and mercenaries. People were coming to the island!What happened?Was Louis in danger?Although Louis wished to transform her into a cyborg, she hoped he could live regardless. No matter what field it was, no one would come before an outstanding scientist like him. It would be a huge loss to lose him.Olivia grew worried. "Calm down, Liv. A lot of people came to the island, but I don't think it's a big issue for now," Ethan reminded her.He bet that the ships were loaded with ammunition. Still, the buildings on the island were intact, and nothing seemed to be destroyed. She disagreed, "No, there should

Mason and David had a long discussion by themselves. No one knew what they talked about.But it didn't matter because it was just an extra member joining the Fordham family anyway. That was it.On the other hand, Tatiana was a little worried. If the whole Fordham family were to be added to the family registry, would her children inherit less from the Heath family?Humans were born selfish. When the event actually came to pass, everyone would be thinking about their own benefit.

Olivia and the others returned to the Fordham family. Everything was going back on track under Avery's management. Sean's leg was recovering well. He could walk like a normal person, and he didn't have to pretend to be a cripple anymore. Troy would need more time to heal, but he was making progress.David clearly seemed better than he was before Olivia left. Everyone could still hardly believe that Jacqueline almost killed everyone in the family all by herself. When Olivia returned, David asked with concern, "Olivia, Avery said that you were cursed. How are you feeling right now?""Don't worry, Dad. I'm all better now. But we think that Jacqueline's dead in the sea," she assured.He hugged her. "It's alright. Your safety is all I hope for."It broke her heart to see how time had chipped away at his physique. It hadn't actually been that long since the family was in trouble. "Any news about Mom's whereabouts?" asked Olivia. "Avery found something, but he's still trying to

Alan brushed it over, but it was enough to leave Wendell in shock. Wendell imagined what kind of life Wayne had led before this. Growing up in a slum where all kinds of people lived… People like them had never really owned anything anyway, so they wouldn't feel the pain of loss…Ever since his wife passed away, Wendell didn't really care much about Alexander's upbringing. Wendell was merely generous when it came to spending money on Alexander. But once he reunited with his son, he realized how much it could hurt to be a parent. If that marriage arrangement was Wayne's wish, Wendell was hell-bent on making it happen.…Olivia was watching the sunset painting colors to the horizon by the seashore. Although Jacqueline was dead, Olivia didn't feel happy, not even one bit. So what if the mastermind was dead? The Fordham family was still in disarray, and no one knew where Shana was.Olivia sighed softly. "You're too young to be sighing like that." Wayne suddenly appeared next

Wendell felt helpless. He was seriously down on luck.Instead of his son, he thought that he had found himself a bossy superior. It was a heartfelt reunion after 30 years of separation, and yet the first thing Wayne talked about was an announcement about his marriage rather than expressing words of concern for his family. If it were any ordinary woman, Wendell wouldn't have minded it. But the person he insisted on marrying was none other than Olivia! She was a divorced woman with four kids!On top of that, Olivia's ex-husband was Wendell's nephew! The divorced couple was somewhat entangled with each other too.Ethan and Wayne were both dear to him. What should he do? Wendell was at his wit's end. Ignoring Wendell's dilemma, Wayne handed him a cigarette. But Wendell refused, "I quit it."Wayne lit a cigarette and squatted on the ground. Instead of a ruler of a land, he appeared more like a construction worker. Wendell massaged his forehead at that. How had his son grown
Even After Death Chapter 1666
Wendell had been frail all his life. He never imagined that his biological son would have been missing for so many years. What surprised him more was that Wayne had grown up well despite hardships. Still, there seemed to be something off about this son of his.They were father and son who had been separated for years. Now that the truth was revealed, shouldn't they be hugging each other in tears of joy? Why did Wayne show no joy in reuniting with his father but seemed interested in his identity as the son of the Procter family—or more precisely, the marriage arrangement between the Procter family and the Fordham family?""Son, things are a bit complicated right now. We need to take our time to discuss this thoroughly—""Am I not your son?" Wayne's restless temperament was exactly the same as his mother's. There was no chance of dissuading him. There was only one thing in his head. He felt fortunate that he had run a background check on the ties between both families. Otherwise
